a specific property of matter that is related to its mass divided by the volume OR how much "stuff" is packed into a certain amount of space or volume. Density= Stuff÷Space OR
Density=Mass÷Volume
Solution
Mixture that appears to have the same composition, color, density, and taste throughout and is mixed at the atomic or molecular level. Solute + Solvent = Solution
Solvent
The substance in which the solute is dissolved
Solute
The substance being dissolved.
Mixture
A combination of two or more pure substances that are not chemically combined.
Homogenous Mixture
Solid, liquid, or gas that contains two or more substances blended evenly throughout. Ex: White vinegar, corn oil, cheerios, kool aid, water, orange juice, cake batter,
Heterogeneous Mixture
Mixture, such as concrete or a dry soup mix, in which different materials are unevenly distributed and are easily identified. Ex: vinegar and oil in salad dressing, trail mix, raisin bran, air, hamburger
Solubility
Maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.
Substances that are soluble in both fat and water and enable fat to be uniformly dispersed in water as an emulsion. Foods that consist of such emulsions include butter, margarine, salad dressings, mayonnaise, and ice cream.
Dispersant
to break up into smaller parts
Colloids
A mixture of tiny particles that are bigger than those in a solution, but smaller than in a suspension.
Mass vs. Weight: Although the terms mass and weight are used almost interchangeably, there is a difference between them. Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter, which is constant all over the universe. Weight is proportional to mass but depends on location in the universe. Weight is the force exerted on a body by gravitational attraction (usually by the earth). Elmhurst
26.Read about the BP Oil Spill and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill-Choose Disasters When you click on the link, http://tfx.grolier.com/cb/node-33087 Search for the Disaster magazine and find BP Oil Spill & Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Write brief answers to the following questions below in your journal.

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Discussion Questions- be prepared to share your answers to the questions below.
a.What were some of the difficulties clean-up and rescue workers faced? b.What are some of the ways that the oil hurt animals and other creatures?
BP oil spill notes
Describe the extent of the oil spill.

BP oil spill discussion questions: be prepared to share your answers to the questions below.
a. What were some of the methods (3examples) used to contain and clean up the oil? b. What were some of the negative effects(3 examples) of the oil spill?
PART 1-RESEARCH QUESTIONS: COMPLETER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS USING LINKS #27-34 Now, thinking of how to clean up after an oil spill. There are 2 aspects to this. The oil must be removed AND exposed animals must be cleaned. I have assembled a variety of readings that will give you background on what has been done for the BP oil spill, the Exxon Valdez spill and in the case of oil exposure in birds.
Answer the questions below IN COMPLETE SENTENCES. Restate the question in your journal.
1.) Summarize the general procedure for cleaning birds after oil spills.
2) Name four animals that are affected by oil spills, and how they are affected.
3) Using the articles and context, what role do each of these play in cleaning up an oil spill:
Booms
Skimmers
Dispersant
4) What other materials aid in cleaning up an oil spill. List at least 5 and tell what they do.
PART B-Using the Design Cycle You will use the design cycle to design a procedure to clean up an oil spill. -You will receive an oil spill with feathers in it. You will receive 4 feathers. Your first task will be to clean them.The second will be to remove the oil. You will bring in materials. In some cases, I can supply some materials. Knowing how birds are cleaned up, what cleaners would you like to try? You should pick 3 different cleaners. (One you should clean with only water.) Write a materials list and your procedure in your journal. You can try to clean the oil in various ways. What ways would you like to try? You may try numerous ways. Base your decisions on some of the methods in existence, but you are free to think outside of the box. Write a materials list and procedure below.
